Give Girls A Chance recognizes Running Room and its commitment since 2002 to help further girls' education. John Stanton, president and founder of Running Room, was a consultant at the start up of Give Girls A Chance, and through his efforts tens of thousands of dollars have been raised by runners across Canada so girls worldwide have a chance for a basic education. Running Room has continues to support us by organizing three runs in Edmonton and Toronto, and by taking our message about the importance of girls' education to running events the company has taken part in.

Stanton continues to devote his personal time, and his stores' resources, to Give Girls A Chance, and official charity of the Running Room.

Give Girls A Chance (GGAC) recognizes the tremendous support that Transcontinental provided in the 'start up' of GGAC in 2002(see history). They continued this support in 2005 by printing the GGAC brochures and bookmarks.
